The news felt like a physical blow, yet oddly, it left David with the strange sensation of being ready for anything. The biographer had dissected his life, his failures, his triumphs, all without his consent. But when he was done reading, he was overwhelmed with…something…which could be mistaken for joy.

He smiled. The biography had forced him to see his life from a different perspective, and it was a surprisingly beautiful view. He felt like he could climb a mountain.
